US Spies Want Renweal of Unconstitutional FISA Law - To Spy On Americans

The semantic legedermain these people use is almost comical. See, FISA, the "Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act" created the power for the feds to spy on "foreigners", which means, in their Byzantine logical construction, that if you are an American citizen talking to a foreigner, you, too, can be wiretapped.

One would think that if an American citizen were involved, a WARRANT would be needed, ya know? But, nope. Not in the new USA. The Bushies pushed this, and got it, and now Obama's team wants to continue it.

Same as it ever was, Tallking Heads...

CNN Reporter Catches Obama on Kill List

Is is funny or sad that the President says his number one priority as the sworn President is to "protect the American people"?

 

Strange, because some of us thought it was to protect and defend the Constitution of the US, which has built into it certain safeguards against the expansion of the Executive Branch...

TSA Admits Booting Woman from Flight for "Bad Attitude"

So, someone who might possibly find it an invasion of privacy to have his or her DRINK tested by the feds (who aren't even supposed to be in the airport in the first place), has been yanked off her flight, because of her "attitude".

 

Figured it would come to this.

Finally, a Hollywood Left Dem Speaks Out Against Prez Obama Amplifying Bush War, Imprisonment Policies

Kudos to John Cusack. Now all he has to do is apply his Constitutional standards and belief in civil liberties to the facts that the Constitution also doesn't sanction things like "welfare" spending, business regulation, invasion of medical records, antitrust, bailouts, money monopolies (ie, the Fed and treasury, a duopoly), school loans, science research, "social securit" (which is neither), the so-called "war on drugs" or international aid, to name a few...

Greg Greenwald on US Targeting Drones on Pakistani Rescuers

Evidently, as long as the US engages in terrorist activities, they're not "really" terrorist activities?

Good for Greewald to write about this.

A Very Good Piece on the Tsunami of Waiting, Expenses and Limits Coming Due to Med Fascism Law

The laws of economics, of supply and demand, of political force, cannot be avoided. Read this piece, from Mr. Goodman, who is often published by the excellent Independence Institute, and remember his warnings a few years from now!

Romney Pick of Ryan Really Illustrates How Disconnected GOP Is From Liberty and Memory

So the pop media and GOP big-wigs are both saying that Congressguy Paul Ryan is a "staunch" conservative. Even the Dems are flailing about, saying he's "radically" anti-spending.

If that's the case, why did he vote with the Bushies 94% of the time? Why did he support the unconstitutional, immoral, and economically insane Medicare Part D plan that Congress passed at 5:40 on a Saturday morning? If he's a real strong small gument "constitutionalist", then why the HECK did he vote to give Bush the unconstitutional "permission to use military force" everyone tells us is now the "War" on "Terror"?

Economic Data Doesn't Look Good for the US - 70 Data Points to See

This comes from a site that might or might not be completely aligned with the ideas of total freedom, but some of the stats and references are very valuable, especially when one compares the information to the cheerleading from the pop media news folks.

US House and Senate Evicerate the Advice and Consent Requirement for Executive Appointments

This is incredible. Such a bold, in-your-face move that one can almost not believe they did it.

This story comes from the JBS, which isn't in line with a number of libertarian principles, but the story itself is important.

After Five Years, People Finally Begin to Notice That Scalia Does Not Care About Rights

Those Principled Republicans and the Medical Fascism Law

So one of the Romney advisors (ya know, an advisor for the guy who brought in his own anti-constitutional fascist mandates on the health insurance industry in MA) is making cash advising state gubments on how to conform to the federal medical fascism law. Anyone actually bothered to look at the Constitution and see that the interstate commerce clause doesn't give the feds the power to tell insurance companies what to sell, nor does it give MA the power to do the same or to force people to buy said manipulated insurance plans. Welcome to real fascism. Welcome to the United States "two-party" system... Choose your poison.

IRS ReWrites Fed Medical Fascism Law to Counter States That Are Not Implementing

As these state gubments push back and don't implement the law, the IRS re-writes the text to make it apply, to levy the fines (sorry, the "tax"), and expand the fascist nature of this law.

Be Skeptical of the Pop Media Reports on GM Sales Figures

As we have mentioned many times, GM did not really turn a profit last year. The only reason it was in the black was because it didn't have to pay taxes, the way FORD does. The arrangement was part of the gubment bailout of GM. If they had paid taxees (not that we support taxes, but this is a company that got BILLIONS of other peoples' dollars), they would have been 14 billion in the red!

 

Now comes this story, refuting the recent sales figures reported by GM.
